DuckDuckGo should have its own browser. This way the no track is more sound.

  They will have one soon, and they have a mobile browser already, which is my default.

    Their mobile browser is actually very nice, I’ve used it almost exclusively for 2 years now.

  Haha, I thought that seemed like a good idea, then remembered I'm using it and have been for at least a year... It's a pretty seemless mobile browser CAVEATS: Downloaded files are renamed generically... to "asset.pdf" or similar Bookmark handling is terrible and this could kill it for many users

  My main grumble with the mobile browser is that it lacks view-source and about: tools.

    Does chrome mobile or safari have a view-source button? if you do view-source:url does that not work on Duck browser?
    - f0xtrot 5y ago
      I'm not sure about a button for view source in any of them. view-source: appears to still work in chrome mobile (Firefox works too), not sure about safari. Nope, view-source: does not work on ddg. which seems odd since it looks like it's built on top of chrome. URL's seem like they're parsed oddly. I have yet to find a way to view source on ddg :(

    Firefox Android lacks both as well.
    - f0xtrot 5y ago
      Adding view-source: to the url works for me on FF android.
